We used to have to put recyclables on the floor because we didn't have a recycling bin. Tired of this, we decided to buy one and found this one. It's very convenient because it has a separate compartment for recycling and trash all in one. Now it's so easy to recycle. It's easy to open and it's not too tall or too heavy. Great value and it comes with 10 years of warranty. Very happy with the purchase, it has the perfect fit for our needs. I would recommend.
